Believe it or not it is precisely one year since Cosmic Variance‘s launch. We don’t want to make a particularly big deal over our baby’s birthday, and we certainly won’t be having an elaborate party and inviting other people with young blogs over to hang out and pretend like the blogs know what’s going on.
